Dear White People Official Trailer 1 (2014) - Comedy HD

[lesbianhaircut]

all I see is black people talking about this. white people. go see this movie. you need to see this movie.

[minimizingmissmelissa-blog]

Kinda getting sick of seeing all this negative shit being said about white people. If this movie were about any other race, people would be pissed. Why is this okay? Why are we hating on any race? Believe it or not people, not all white people are like the ones portrayed in this movie. We're not all dumb, ditzy, or privileged. I've had a really rough life. Poverty, abuse, you name it. And I'm white. I am in no way privileged because of the color of my skin.

Improvement, maybe? I’m not really sure if it is, but it’s something.

[minimizingmissmelissa-blog]

Awesome dude! I see some serious changes!

This is what my husband and I purchased at the grocery store the other day.

We don’t have kids.

We are adults. We pay bills. And drink water from a whale.

I am absolutely still a work in progress. It is incredibly hard for me to post these pictures because of my mom belly. But you know what? I have worked SO damn hard over the last 8 months and I am so proud of that. 

I began my journey November 29th, 2013 and I have lost a total of 67 pounds so far! I have posted in here before, but wanted to submit a more recent update. 

Stay strong everyone. You CAN do it.
